obviously yes, did you not know that? they also sear their beaks off with hot metal to keep them from pecking each other in their horrifically cramped conditions, the egg industry is insanely cruel.

someone pointing out the obvious isn't a 'gotcha' and it says a lot that you think it is

there are literal entire countries (including Canada off the top of my head) who have told other countries and their resettlement orgs 'we see you have a humanitarian crisis, but we're only accepting refugees if they work in our slaughterhouses' I recognize you're completely entrenched in this baffling perspective and it's kinda hard to look at, honestly. you've got that "when sea levels rise, everyone living on the coasts should just sell their houses and move" kind of energy.

the first step would be to shut down animal agriculture, as a huge part of plant farming and it's inherent exploitation is in growing food to feed to the animals before they get to the slaughterhouse; we grow more than enough food to feed the planet as it is, but we waste so much of it trying to sustain animal ag, which is a failing enterprise and a massive driver of climate change

literally the first article that came up searching for slaughterhouses https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/08/11/489468205/working-the-chain-slaughterhouse-workers-face-lifelong-injuries

The workers, most often immigrants and resettled refugees, slaughter and process hundreds of animals an hour, forced to work at high speeds in cold conditions, doing thousands of the same repetitions over and over, with few breaks.

not that I expect evidence to change your mind

wow, you haven't looked into this, like, at all

lots of people are being forced, often immigrants and refugees. would you like to slash throats all day in the dismemberment factory?

no one should be forced to work in these conditions
